Do you really have the button? I saw this headline and tried to update the Macs I have that are waiting for this update, but none of them see it in the App Store. And the page linked still says, "Available 9.25".
Not yet. I assume it won't appear until this evening for me. I like to think ahead :)

#132Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah, I thought about that as I was writing my comment and realized that's why I always write "back to front dates" with dashes instead of slashes. I think it's probably because I always use that format in filenames and slashes feel like a very bad idea there ;-)
Yes, it would be so great if there could be a standard for dates formatted this way. It would have to be called something awesome like ISO 8601! ;-) That is definitely also my preferred format, everything just sorts naturally then. Not so in love with the 2017-09-25T12:00 format as it does not work for filenames on my OS.

#133Does anybody have more information on this claim of a keychain vulnerability in High Sierra... just saw it fly past on Twitter. https://twitter.com/patrickwardle/status/912254053849079808 >on High Sierra (unsigned) apps can programmatically dump & exfil keychain (w/ your plaintext passwords) vid: https://player.vimeo.com/video/235313957 #smh
I’d like a bit more detail. Instructions to repro ideally. Too much is left out of the video (show me the items it will access and the access permissions for those items) and I’m inclined to think it’s staged or Mr. Wardle didn’t understand something fundamental (e.g. if you built/debugged the app on the same system where you made the video, you may have already authorized the app to fetch items from the keychain.)

I agree, the good thing about Apple and Microsoft is I know what they want to sell me. Apple want me to buy relatively expensive devices on a regular basis and ideally a cloud subscription. Microsoft want me to buy subscriptions to their cloud services and ideally devices running their OS. In both cases the value for them is fairly clear and they have limited incentives to do anything that might jepordise those reven…
In apple's case, they have a fairly small but dedicated marketshare that cares deeply about those issue. That's why I trust them to not sabotage their product. Microsoft has a monopoly, they don't need to care.
Re: MacOS High Sierra
#135Sort of off topic but what has happened to the web design team at Apple? Their landing pages used to be extremely pleasant to read but by now I often struggle to read their headlines. The blurred background with text on top is not easy on my eyes at all. Perhaps my eyes are starting to go bad... Their page for the new iPhone had the same issues. In my opinion their web designs has gone down hill this year.
Yeah, this page isn't the best example, but they're still killing it with the product pages https://www.apple.com/iphone-x/ https://www.apple.com/iphone-8/

#137Just a heads up - seems GPGTools has issues with High Sierra; those using PGP might want to hold off. https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/discussions/beta/2348-macos-h...
Though I appreciate the effort they're putting into GPGTools, issues preventing one from using it on Sierra went on for more than half a year after Sierra went public. I deem that unusable.
